Koikimo

📖 SYNOPSIS

On a rainy day, salaryman Amakusa Ryo’s life takes an unexpected turn when a high school girl, whom he has never met before, saves him at the station. This encounter is more than a simple act of kindness—it sparks something within Ryo that he never expected. The girl’s name is Arima Ichika, and after the incident, Ryo feels the need to express his gratitude in his usual flirtatious manner. True to his womanizing nature, he offers her a kiss or a date as thanks, but Ichika immediately shoots him down, calling him creepy. Rather than deterring him, this rejection only fuels Ryo’s fascination with her. In the following days, Ryo finds himself increasingly obsessed with Ichika, trying to show his affection in the most over-the-top ways. Despite his actions causing Ichika to repeatedly insult him and call him creepy, Ryo’s determination never falters. He starts to interpret her insults as signs of affection, believing that Ichika’s insults are actually her way of showing interest. As the days go by, Ichika continues to push him away, but Ryo’s unwavering persistence might just lead to something more.
